Default What do consignors want from an auction house?

Posted By: scgaynor

Sorry Barry, I didn't realize that, I was not trying to "out" anybody. I was just trying to say that the reason that there are 17.5-20% buyers premiums is that it costs alot to produce catalogs, especially when handing out 0% seller commissions.

It is just so much easier to bid online, there are very few phone bids. The catalog is a useful tool and I like them too, they are just really expensive to produce. Who knows what the future holds for sure, I am just offering my opinion.
